Nutrition in Behavioral Disorders

Behavioral Nutrition is the science which is helpful in evaluating some of the problems & changes in the dietary behaviors. Various factors influence our human activity such as behavioral, personal, familial, social, and physical environmental factors. Correcting those factors will lead to healthy dietary behaviors. Providing nutrition services to individuals that have behavioral health issues is an important and complicated task. In many cases, the lines are not clear-cut, and an individual may be dealing with more than one diagnosis.   It is not uncommon for a person to have a mental illness as well as an eating disorder or substance abuse problem.
